Down’s Syndrome Scotland’s Choir 21 sings The Bluebells' song "Young At Heart" at the Down’s Syndrome Scotland Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 👏

Down syndrome is linked to chromosome 21 because it is caused by an extra copy of this chromosome, a condition called trisomy 21 #RHSChelsea

…what the crap. Remember when Google used to pull bad AI answers so it wouldn’t answer that question any more?

Scientists have successfully used allele-specific CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the extra chromosome 21 in human trisomy 21 cells. This "trisomy rescue" reversed abnormal gene expression, even in non-dividing cells, offering new hope for future Down syndrome therapies pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39967679/

Down Syndrome is known as a "gray" diagnosis in support groups for termination for medical reasons. It's not a likely death sentence within weeks to months, like Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. But it does mean lifelong support, and parents don't know ahead of time how serious the complications will be.

Children (adults) with trisomy 21 are especially empathetic and openly show their affection. These are my beautiful experiences in this regard. 💗

Trisomy eredmenyt mar megkaptuk telefonon, genetikailag minden okes, este az emailbol mar tudni fogjuk a nemet is 🥹

Trisomy 18, a rare chromosomal condition also known as Edwards syndrome, is normally fatal within weeks of birth. But some parents are getting more time — with surgeries, luck and an incredible amount of effort. This is Noah's story.

My everyday moment of joy.

Someone's one the phone.
Says their name is "Trisomy"???

Dear Amanda,

I'm sorry that happened to you. I had Trisomy 18 Edwards Disease I aborted my son at 20 weeks he had no skull, an ultrasound and amniocentesis confirmed complications.

At all times my life, my dignity and my care was the priority of doctors and nurses🇦🇺

It should've been for you also.

Today is Silly Sock Day!

Why do we wear silly socks on 3:21 in support of people with Down syndrome?

The clinical term for Down Syndrome is Trisomy 21

Trisomy 21 means 3 (tri) chromosomes (somy) of the 21st chromosome.

Hey but chromosomes determine sex! Except for androgen insensitivity, intersex people, trisomy…

I'm glad the results didn't come back on my birthday yesterday. She was a baby girl and had trisomy 20. My fifth pregnancy loss. Processing this is harder than I thought it would be.

by complete coincidence I just listened to a podcast about Marthe Gautier and the discovery of trisomy - relegated to being 2nd author on the paper, the 1st being the guy who, on her request, only took the photographs to confirm the finding. Gautier left trisomy research after that

Trisomy 18 is usually fatal within weeks of birth. Some families are getting more time, with surgeries, luck and incredible effort. This is the story of what Noah, and his family, are up against. https://nyti.ms/44Z7TgU

The non-Maine discourse on Twitter right now is about YouTubers who chose to announce they were terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons after receiving a Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) diagnosis.

Jesus Christ, those shirts. I don't expect them to know about Turner or Trisomy or Klinfelter in those terms, but "XXY" isn't exactly esoteric. TMBG wrote a song about it thirty fucking years ago!

Good lord, it gets worse.

Cats apparently can’t have trisomy 19 because they only have 19 pairs of chromosomes… but they can have trisomy 21. On those extra chromosomes they don’t have. 🤦🏼‍♀️

☝🏻 And the press. Even children with trisomy can‘t have that much extra DNA.

I want a Kia soul with trisomy
Esten so much I feel like a Fiat Multipla

And Marthe Gautier who discovered the chromosomal cause of trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) but had her work hijacked by a man who had funding to attend international conferences

Looks more like trisomy 21 to me
